#I've already seen this happen in the pizza tower fandom with the one hypnosis au so i just really hate seeing a situation like that again.

I'm gonna be going on a rant about a specific welcome home au I keep seeing, so I'm putting it under the read more to not make the post take up the whole tag.
So I saw that one welcome home hypnosis au again and, it's just gotten worse. Like, I just don't get good vibes from it. I know the creator has said it's not meant to glorify sa but, that looks like what it's doing. [ It's put in the Barnaby x wally tags including the normal character tags for God's sake. ] I'm not gonna be vague about the au I'm talking about anymore, it's the hypnotic addiction au. I'm sorry to anyone who genuinely likes it but, I just really think the au is kind of problematic.
I do believe there's ways to portray sa in fiction a respectful way but idk the au just feels really wrong to even look at, and the fact it's tied to welcome home just makes it unavoidable. This feels like the pizza tower hypnosis au situation all over again but I haven't seen anyone talk about this situation so far. Idk if I'm just being sensitive or something but I just really don't want to see what's basically a glorified r*pe au when I'm just trying to look through the tags of my favorite character.
And it doesn't even seem like they treat the au seriously. They say that it's meant to be serious but then make jokes and memes about said au. I just feel like if it's so serious, why would you make jokes about it? Like, jokes about the abuser getting hurt ok yeah those are good and I can at least see why they exist, but they've made jokes about the entire situation in the au [ ex. The red flags meme, and doing a matching profile picture meme ] It just feels really wrong.
Just to clarify this though, I don't mean to hate on the creator themselves. I am willing to believe they didn't make the au with any alternative motives other than just exploring dark themes, but I'm just stating my opinion on the au since I've seen it so much.
